Window Genie now offers the 3M™ Envision™ line of window film which boasts a variety of benefits for your home, the environment, and your skin. Read on to learn more about how our window film protects your family’s skin from harmful rays.
UV rays – the enemy of healthy skin.
When you hear people talking about the links between skin cancer and UV rays, they are talking specifically about ultraviolet radiation. Ultraviolet radiation is a major risk factor for many kinds of skin cancers. Tanning beds create ultraviolet radiation, which is why they are mentioned so often as being a danger to your health. In short, UV rays damage cells, burn the skin, and contribute to your risk of developing skin cancer. The only way to prevent this is by limiting your exposure!
UV rays make up only a marginal portion of the sun’s rays, which explains why sun exposure has dichotomous effects on the human body. You need sunlight for vitamin D and healthy skin, and yet it is a leading cause of skin cancer; how do you get the good without the bad?
Window Genie’s window film is the answer. While reducing glare, Window Genie filters out up to 99.9% of UV rays, giving your sun-exposed skin all of the nourishment it needs without the harsh UV rays and harmful effects.
UV rays are still a danger inside the home.
Some people think that being indoors automatically eliminates their chances of being exposed to harmful UV rays. This is far from the truth; some home environments can intensify the harmful effects of UV rays.
It isn’t hard to see why you aren’t safe indoors; many rooms rely on sunlight for illumination and heat, and many people and animals bask in sunshine from inside their homes. You are not immune to UV rays simply because you have a roof overhead; they do not fall in vertical lines, so you can’t play the angles to escape UV rays. If you are in sunlight and your window panes are not treated with Window Genie window film, you are harming your skin and increasing your risk of developing cancer.
Stay safe with Window Genie window film.
Our window films keep you safe in several ways, yet are non-invasive. Our window film will not obstruct your favorite views in any way. Our glue-free adhesive system makes for a seamless film that will enhance your view as glare is reduced by up to 85%, minimizing eye strain. Our window film is easy to maintain, with our adhesive system tolerant of even the strongest cleaners, our film resistant to scratching, and your warranty keeping the coating in pristine condition for life on residential installations.
More importantly, Window Genie keeps your family safe and healthy indoors. Enjoy the warmth, nourishment, and illumination of natural indoor sunlight without health risks, as our window films provide up to 99.9% UV protection. This will keep your pets, guests, and loved ones safe, even while it reduces the fading that flooring, furniture, and curtains will show if left in the sun over long periods. The importance of window film is only increasing as we spend more and more time indoors, bouncing between the office and the home every day.
